The murders all seem to follow a set pattern, ie occur in a similar way

这些谋杀案似乎都为同一手法

||1: America is estimated to have over 33,000 gangs, with approximately 1.4m members; the great bulk of these are in cities. ||2: The CDC report confirms previous findings that murders are (rather unsurprisingly) male-dominated, and gang-related ones even more so. ||3: In Los Angeles males account for 95% of gang murder victims. ||4: A significant proportion of gang killings are also of ethnic minorities, and of young; 60% of gang homicides were 15-24 years old, compared with less than 30% among non-gang victims. ||5: Deterring adolescents and young adults from joining gangs seems like the best way of keeping them alive.

||1:据估计，美国有三万三千多个帮派组织，总共有大约一百四十万黑帮分子。其中他们中的绝大部分分散在城市的角落中。||2:疾病控制及预防中心所公布的报告与之前的调查结果相一致。杀人犯中以男性为绝大多数（毫无意外），而与帮会案件有关的犯罪者男性比例更高。||3:在洛杉矶，帮会谋杀的对象中95%为男性。||4:另外，在帮会谋杀中，年轻人和少数种族人群所占比重极高。参与帮会谋杀的罪犯中，年龄在15至24岁之间比例为60%，与之形成鲜明对比的是与帮派无关的受害者中，这一年龄段的比例不到30%。||5:阻止懵懂无知的青少年和血气方刚的小伙子陷入帮会的泥潭似乎成了挽回他们宝贵生命的制胜法宝。

||1: He points to polls which indicate that a majority of voters in Connecticut, a Democratic state, support the death penalty. ||2: This is partly because of the notorious “Cheshire murders ” case of 2007, which is still on the public’s mind. ||3: A mother and her daughters, aged 17 and 11, were murdered at their home. The mother was raped; the younger daughter was sexually assaulted. ||4: The invaders, Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky, both out on parole, then set the house on fire. ||5: Hayes was sentenced to death in December 2010. Komisarjevsky, his accomplice, was sentenced to death in January. Both are still alive.

||1: THEY are, typically, young Hispanic or black males; but the victims of gang killings are no more likely to be involved in drugs or other crimes than their non-gang slain counterparts. ||2: According to a new study by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which looked at five cities with high numbers of gang murders between the years 2003 and 2008, drug trading or usage and other criminal activity ranged from zero to 25% of all gang-related killings. ||3: Less than 1% of gang homicides were drug-related in two of the cities; Long Beach and Los Angeles, in California. And in three of the cities less than 3% of gang homicides took place during a crime.

||1:一提起黑帮分子，人们就会想到西班牙或非洲裔小伙子。而惨遭黑帮杀戮的受害者，他们既不大可能于毒品和其它犯罪有关，也与帮会没有太多瓜葛。||2:从2003年到2008年，疾病控制及预防中心（简称CDC）对黑帮谋杀案件发生最频繁的五个城市进行了调查。结果显示，在所有与帮会有关的谋杀案件中，吸毒、贩毒和其它犯罪活动在这五个城市中所占比例不一，在0到25%之间徘徊。||3:其中，加州的长岛和洛杉矶，只有不到1%的帮会谋杀于毒品有关。而在其中的三座城市里，与犯罪有关的帮会谋杀要少于3%。

||1: CAPITAL punishment has been meted out in Connecticut since colonial times, when convicted witches were sentenced to death. ||2: In recent years it has been used sparingly . ||3: Of the 4,686 murders committed between 1973 and 2007, only 66 led to convictions of a capital felony, according to a 2011 study of capital punishment in Connecticut by John Donohue of Stanford Law School. ||4: And only nine of the culprits actually received the death sentence. ||5: Indeed, the execution in 2005 of Michael Ross, a serial killer who waived further appeals, was the first since 1960. ||6: Eleven people are in various stages of appeal on death row , including two who have been there for two decades. ||7: “Keeping it without using it doesn’t make a lot of sense,” notes Richard Dieter, head of the Death Penalty Information Centre.
